Leeds vs Man United Predictions: 04.01.2026 - Premier League Betting Tips

Leeds vs Man United

Leeds will look to continue their good run of form against Man United at Elland Road this Sunday. Unbeaten in their last six, the hosts are edging away from the relegation zone, while the Red Devils continue to lack consistency.

Our Premier League football expert Nathan Joyes analyses the match and provides his best bet within.

Leeds difficult to beat

After losing 3-2 against Man City at the end of November, Daniel Farke was one defeat away from losing his job. Yet a home win vs Chelsea followed and since Leeds have remained unbeaten.

Impressively, Leeds haven't lost any of their last three away matches which included a 0-0 draw at Anfield on New Years Day. Farke has made his side difficult to beat.

Yet at home they are looking more dangerous than ever before. Not only did they beat Chelsea 3-1, but they followed that up with a 4-1 hammering vs Crystal Palace.

With just one defeat in their last five home matches - which came against high-flying Aston Villa - Leeds are certainly a team on the up.

Man United better on the road

After edging past Newcastle at home, Man United once again failed to build on that result as they were held to a 1-1 draw with Wolves.

Ruben Amorim's side didn't deserve to win, either, producing an xG of just 0.84 compared to their opponents 1.16 - in what was a match Man United were expected to win comfortably.

But Man United have performed better away from the high expectations demanded at Old Trafford, and head to Elland Road having lost just one of their last five away games.

Scoring hasn't been an issue on the road either, finding the back of the net no less than 11 times - it's keeping it out at the other end which is stifling any kind of real progress.

Man United have yet to keep a clean sheet away from home - across all competitions - this season.

Leeds vs Man United H2H

Leeds have failed to beat Man United in any of their last five attempts, with the Red Devils coming out on top in three of those meetings since 2022.

Man United have also won three of their last five trips to Elland Road, and haven't lost there since 2002.

Our Leeds vs Man United betting tip

With Leeds on a roll and Man United unable to keep a clean sheet on their travels, everything is set up for an intriguing tie in Yorkshire.

Nathan Joyes has analysed the Premier League odds for this match and has put forward his best bet.

Goals expected at Elland Road

Leeds (17/10 with Betfred) will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to seven - and after two big wins at home scoring seven vs Chelsea and Palace, the squad will be in a confident mood.

Man United (13/8 with Betano) head to Leeds having only lost one of their last five on their travels but clean sheets continue to evade them. They've secured just one in their last five and are still searching for their first on the road this season.

As mentioned, Man United are scoring for fun away from Old Trafford, but Leeds are very much doing the same at home.

In their last five, Leeds have scored 13 goals - including three against Liverpool. This is where they know they will pick up most of their points.

And with that in mind, over 2.5 goals looks to be the best bet for this match. Good luck if you're following.

TIP: Over 2.5 goals at 4/5 with BetMGM.
